A study I found today linking low FREE T to potential for Alzheimer’s … another good reason for getting hormones in balance … as well as a medical reason for lowering SHBG.
Low free testosterone was an independent predictor for AD. Its variance was overall explained by high SHBG, low TT, high LH, an older age and low body mass index (BMI). … Lowering SHBG and/or screening for subclinical thyroid disease may prevent cognitive decline and/or wasting in men at risk for AD.
Another study mentioned premature and delayed ejaculation … this one was also news to me:
Premature ejaculation seems to be a problem for hyperthyroid men, and delayed ejaculation a problem for hypothyroid men. (source: http://www.tiredthyroid.com/rt3-2.html)
Another take:
One might imagine that premature ejaculators have low testosterone, given the self-imposed shame associated with the condition. However, it is the opposite—they have higher (normal) testosterone; and delayed ejaculation can be a sign of testosterone deficiency. study
